I THINK TEBUCKY IS ANOTHER PROBLEM ON DEFENSE.AGAINST THE CARDS HE PUSHED ONE OF THE RECEIVERS WHEN THE PASS WAS BEHIND BOTH OF THEM.HE ACTUALLY COULD HAVE INTERCEPTED THE PASS AND KILLED THE DRIVE.INSTEAD HE GAVE THEM A FIRST AND A CHUNK OF YARDS.HE HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED HARDLY ANYTHING SINE THEY GOT HIM.HE HAS GREAT SPEED BUT HE JUST DOES NOT MAKE PLAYS.

Nothing wrong with Tebuckey\'s game this year. He has saved us more than he had hurt us. Go back and rewatch the games and count how many touchdowns he has saved from being scored against us. That\'s his primary job and the reason the position is called \"safety\" to begin with.

YOU ARE RIGHT HE HAS SAVED A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS AND YOU ARE RIGHT THAT IS HIS PRIMARY JOB,BUT I HAVE WATCHED THE GAMES AND I HAVE SAW HIM BE AROUND ALOT OF TOUCHDOWNS AND NOT MAKE A PLAY IN COVERAGE.THE PLAY I WAS TALKING ABOUT AGAINST THE CARDS COULD HAVE TAKEN SOME OF THEIR MOMENTUM AWAY.IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT LAST YEAR AND COUNT THE DROPPED INT\'S LAST YEAR.
AND THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.

He played like crap last year, I\'ll agree with that. But he\'s stepped his game up this year. There\'s not a single player performance from this past weekend that could have been considered, \"flawless\", they collectively played bad football against the Cards.

Anyway, back onto the main subject. Tebucky has proven that he\'s made major strides since last year. My problem with him lies in the fact that he still tries to make a kill-shot tackle when he should be making sounder tackles.

Also, his pass defense is still subpar. He often is confused when two receivers cross into his zone or when covering a deep ball.
